It’s no secret that Daniel Ricciardo was down in the dumps during his time at McLaren. For reasons unknown to him and the team, he wasn’t the driver they’d paid for. As it would turn out, enough was enough for the Woking-based outfit, and they dumped the Australian for F1 rookie Oscar Piastri in 2023. Now, the Honey Badger has made a fan-favorite move back to Red Bull for the 2023 season as their reserve driver. He’d admittedly be sitting on the sidelines this year, but it would appear that he’s gotten his mojo back!

Ricciardo took to his Instagram account today to share a video. In the video, he can be seen singing and dancing along to Revival by Zach Bryan while cruising around in his pickup truck. And fans quickly rushed to the social media platform to share their reactions to this quality drop by the Australian.

Ricciardo certainly seems to have found his happiness back. Seems like his homecoming to Red Bull is treating him just fine! And F1 fans had been pining for this for far too long. One fan commented, “Ok, so now things are back to the normal way. We were waiting for that.”

Whilst another said, “Watching Danny Ric become more and more cowboy everyday gives me life.”

Generally though, fans were lapping up this early season Ricciardo content. “I wish I could have a friend like Daniel.”

“Yup. I’m healed.”

One user said, “This is just what we needed at the start of 2023.”

Other fans were in awe, “When you drive a normal car in Australia, do people point at you with a shocked face when you drive by?”
